Bob Bluford (R) and I (L) met on February 25, 1943 when we reported for active duty with what was then the Army Air Corps. The two of us have been close friends ever since. Thad served in the 301st BG and Bob served in the 8th AF.

The following information on Thaddeus Crump is gathered and extracted from military records. We have many documents and copies of documents, including military award documents. It is from these documents that we have found this information on 1st Lt. Crump. These serviceman's records are nowhere near complete and we are always looking for more material. If you can help add to Thaddeus Crump's military record please contact us.
